Canary Islands

Last fall, when we started looking for a winter break destination, we discovered that the Canary Islands (Spanish Islands off the Western coast of Northern Africa) were “only” a five hours flight from Berlin. And would provide a respite from the dark, cold Berlin winter. What sealed the deal was that their government was in touch with Dave as they were interested in his work and wanted him to visit.

Hence, our first time visiting the islands (and the first time for the boys and I to travel to Spain). Here’s a photo-driven recaps of our stay.
